Our Good Friend, Ron Paul
Posted on Monday, May 12th, 2008 | In Current Market News, Politics & Your Money, Stocks to WatchWhere has he been? Certainly not dropping out of the race. Much like a Republican version of Hillary Clinton (albeit with much less of a chance) Ron Paul is refusing to drop out of the race, despite the near impossible odds of winning. He is trudging towards the Republic Convention, and without being offered a chance to speak it seems like this is doing nothing.
On the other hand, his internet support seems to have picked up again. About a month ago there was very little on Paul on the internet, but just today there have been two stories about him on the front page of Digg. The most interesting piece of news about Paul seems to be his supports flooding the Nevada state convention on April 26. Fox News has a decent article summarizing Paul’s future plans (or lack thereof) and current exploits.
Unfortunately, Paul has around 19 delegates to McCains 1413, so there’s very little chance of him getting anywhere. But the internet community seems to like Ron Paul, so if he does something interesting we’ll try to keep you updated.
